Apple Store in Zurich Moving to New Location on August 31

by

Apple today announced that its retail store in Zurich, the most populous city in Switzerland, will be moving at the end of the month.

Apple's upcoming store at Rennweg 43 via MacPrime

As noted by Swiss blog MacPrime, Apple Bahnhofstrasse will be relocating to Rennweg 43 on Saturday, August 31, just down the street from its current Bahnhofstrasse 77 address. The new store will still be just steps away from Bahnhofstrasse, a main downtown street in Zurich known for shopping.

Apple Bahnhofstrasse originally opened in 2009. Apple has three other stores in Switzerland in Basel, Geneva, and the outskirts of Zurich.

The move was highlighted by Storeteller on Twitter.

Rennweg 43 is the former site of the huge Franz Carl Weber which went trough the building over to the Bahnhofstrasse. So there might be a lot of internal volume for this shop (as opposed to the tiny crappy current one).

Here's hoping for a theatre, lots of tables and genius bars.

>BTW, FCW had I think four stories.
I am very sure about three stories. But that was 40 years ago ;)
Just FYI, from the second macprime article: "[...] war [...] das Schweizer Spielwarengeschäft «Franz Carl Weber» eingemietet. Dieses erstreckte sich [...] über vier langgezogene Stockwerke."

Hab die Originale niche gelesen... but Perhaps this is a temporary move.
Looking at the article macsteve just linked to, I don't think so. The floor space increases from 400 m² to about 1100 m² (4300 to 12000 sq.ft). It might also be the oldest building(s) any Apple Store is located in (one part is from the 13th century, the other from the 19th). It will stretch over parts of four historical buildings, though the insides of those have been stripped such that largely only the facades remain historical (at least for the floors the Apple Store will use, there might be more historical remnants in the basement and in the top floors).
